Apple: Pokemon Go has most downloads in first week, ever

Without giving specific details, Apple has confirmed that Pokemon Go had the most downloads in its first week of availability than any other app in history.

The game launched in North America earlier this month and just released in Japan, where it is expected to continue its blockbuster run. The game is currently the top free and top-grossing app on Google Play and iTunes.

Most estimates from experts place revenue at $1-$2.3 million per day for the game, putting it on par with hits like Clash Royale.

And what happens when ALL 7.15 billion people buy this at the same time???

Market implosion.

In a year......this will be part of conversations where peeps say "Remember how crazy everyone was over that Pokemon Go game?" followed by...."Do you still play that Pokemon Go game?" and lastly followed up by "Naw, I got bored with that a few months back"

True, but not before several Nintendo executives have lined their pockets with wads of bills.
